I saw these guys live with Between the Buried and Me about 8 years ago. Best metal show I’ve ever seen. The reason why? As complex as these studio version songs are, they totally nailed them live. It is a very impressive form of music. Three guys can make such a powerful and complex sound.

I have tremendous respect for artists who can perform studio quality music in a live atmosphere. There are so many bands, especially metal bands, who can produce epic sounds in a studio, but their live game is so weak it’s shameful.
